Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s decision to divorce shocked people all around the world. The two of them are still locked in an intense battle over the French vineyard they bought together.
Angelina Jolie and Brat Pit are still battling it out due to the French vineyard they purchased when they were together. The extended legal battle is over Château Miraval property and winemaking ventures, which they bought back in 2008 and were 50-50 partners until 2021 when Jolie decided to sell her share.
On October 5, 2021, the actress proceeded with the sale of Nouvel, the holding company that controlled her Miraval shares. She sold the company to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli group controlled by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, for $67 million. In February of the following year, Pitt was sued by Jolie for selling the winery. The papers stated that Pitt was seeking monetary damages and legal fees and that the sale Jolie made was to be voided.
In June 2023, Pitt filed more documents with the court in which he accused Jolie of intentionally trying to “harm” him and his interests in the winery. Pitt’s lawyers claimed that Angelina Jolie had sold her stake in an effort to damage their client’s involvement in the company.
On March 13, it seemed that things were in Pitt’s favor. But now it seems that a Los Angeles court has ruled against Pitt, dismissing five of the seven original claims Pitt made against her.
Jolie’s attorney, Paul Murphy, said in an interview, “The judge dismissed most of Mr. Pitt’s claims because they don’t have a legal basis. Mr. Pitt’s lawsuit has never been about a business dispute; instead, it is about his attempts to cover up serious abuse, and we are gratified the judge has thrown out so much of Mr. Pitt’s complaint.”
“Angelina truly harbors no ill-will toward Mr. Pitt, and hopes he will now release her from his frivolous lawsuit, stop his relentless attacks, and join her in helping their family heal in private,” Murphy added.
The case, however, will still be moving forward. Pitt’s attorneys have yet to make a comment about it.
